📋 Description

• Your mission will be to develop and maintain a variety of software solutions, from internal scripting to complex SaaS platforms, in order to bridge the gap between software excellence and hardware performance within our sovereign cloud. • Develop Core Product Features: Write clean, structured application code in Python to power our hardware update, testing, and inventory systems. • Own Your Domain (Frontend or DevOps): Depending on your track, you will either architect complex React/TypeScript admin interfaces or manage our Proxmox clusters, secrets, and automated deployments using Terraform and Ansible. • Bridge Low-Level to High-Level: Work on a diverse codebase ranging from hardware-level data collection to web APIs. • Drive a New Infrastructure Initiative: Partner with the team to design and ship the next major milestones of our next-generation architecture. • Keep the Foundation Rock-Solid: Optimize, refactor, and test a significant volume of existing code to guarantee stability during long-running hardware validation tests. • Maintain Engineering Excellence: Participate in rigorous peer code reviews, champion clean architecture, and engage in lightweight Scrum ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprints, retros).

🎯 Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Applicative Python: You are a software engineer at heart. You care about clean code, architecture, testing, API design, and building robust backend systems. You have at least 4 years of experience writing structured application code. • The Frontend Track: Experience building highly responsive web applications using React and TypeScript. Proficient in modern state management and data-fetching patterns. Comfortable handling complex asynchronous states, long-polling, or real-time updates. • The DevOps/IaC Track: Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation pipelines. Ansible and Terraform to provision virtualized clusters (Proxmox, …), building robust GitLab CI/CD workflows using Docker containers, and/or deploying/managing core APIs on Kubernetes. Orchestrating service VMs and automating system-level scripts or image builds is highly valued. • The Systems Track: Solid foundations in Linux Sysadmin, networking protocols (VLANs, routing), bare-metal provisioning (DHCP, PXE, TFTP), or building custom Linux OS images (e.g., debootstrap/casper/mkosi). Bonus points if you've ever interacted with physical hardware labs or configuration management (like NX-OS). • Ability to work autonomously within a structured Scrum environment. • Highly involved, conscientious, and proactive in project delivery. • Excellent communicator with a collaborative "OneTeam" mindset. • Humble and open to constructive feedback. • Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills. • Continuous learner, eager to pick up new technologies and bridge technical gaps across our stack.
